Well this is the first year I have hunted in the west zone out of three years of duck hunting and so far not so good. I have faith it will get better but I have made 4 morning hunts so far this year and no ducks...not even any shots at ducks...could have shot at some teal on one hunt but they came out the fog so fast and left the same. I know I am not in the best area but I expected to see some ducks by now...well that is why they call it hunting...glad some people are into the ducks...one day when I have more money and experience maybe I will be too. Come on nasty weather
